The Australian Dream

When AFL star and Australian of the Year Adam Goodes called out the racism he experienced on and off the field, it became a lightning rod for the national conversation about racism and culture in Australia. Written by prominent journalist and author and Wiradjuri man Stan Grant, and developed in close consultation with Goodes, The Australian Dream offers a powerful portrait of a champion forced to confront the ugliness of racism and his desire to see a better Australia.

This critically acclaimed documentary includes archival footage and interviews with a range of politicians, sportspeople and media personalities. The Australian Dream won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
